Travelling to the American west five times during the 1830s, Catlin was the first white man to depict Plains Indians in their native territory. These three pictures are in one frame, from left to right shows Pe-toh-pee-kiss (The Eagle Ribs) Blackfeet Tribe. The middle photo shows a Native American Shaman or Medicine Man and is labeled as such on the back. The far right picture shows Mah-to-he-hah (The Old Bear). The framed artwork is in fantastic display condition. The visible artwork measures 17 1/2" x 7 1/4" with the frame measuring 25" x 15."
